A poll done for Newsweek found that 13%of Americans have seen or sensed the presence of an angel. A contingent doubts that the percent is really that high. It conducts its own survey. Out of 76Americans surveyed, only two had seen or sensed the presence of an angel. As a result of the contingent's survey, would you agree with the Newsweek poll? In complete sentences, also give three reasons why the two polls might give different results.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of people in the United States who have seen or felt an angel is less than 13%.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction 

Null hypotheses is,

H0:p0.13

Alternative hypotheses is,

H0:p<0.13

The proportion of Americans who have seen or sensed angels is the random variableP'.

Normal distribution with parameters p=0.13and p(1-p)n=0.13(1-0.13)76.

The test statistic for this test is,

z=p'-pp(1-p)/n

=0.026-0.130.113/76

02

Explanation

When the p-value is bigger than the established alpha value, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Hence,

p-value=0.0036<0.05

=

There the data to tell is that the percentage of Americans who have seen or sensed an angel is less than 13%at a level of significance of 5%.

p'-z2p'1-p'npp'+z2p'1-p'n........1

percentage point 2of the standard normal distribution.

2=0.025

z2=z0.025

localid="1649942557746" =1.96............2

From equation 1and2

0.026-1.960.026(1-0.026)76p0.026+1.960.026(1-0.026)76

0.026-1.960.018p0.026+1.960.018

Population proportion is,

0p0.623

03

Conclusion

Test is,

p-value=Pp'<0.026=P{z<-2.688}=0.0036

Sixty-eight percent of online courses taught at community colleges nationwide were taught by full-time faculty. To test if68%also represents California鈥檚 percent for full-time faculty teaching the online classes, Long Beach City College (LBCC) in California, was randomly selected for comparison. In the same year,34of the 44 online courses LBCC offered were taught by full-time faculty. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if68% represents California. NOTE: For more accurate results, use more California community colleges and this past year's data

Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 4.5hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization thinks that, currently, the mean is higher. Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0. Conduct a hypothesis test, the Type I error is:

a. to conclude that the current mean hours per week is higher than 4.5, when in fact, it is higher

b. to conclude that the current mean hours per week is higher than 4.5, when in fact, it is the same

c. to conclude that the mean hours per week currently is 4.5, when in fact, it is higher

d. to conclude that the mean hours per week currently is no higher than 4.5, when in fact, it is not higher

Fifteen randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone. The sample mean was 4.75 hours with a sample standard deviation of 2.0. Conduct a hypothesis test. At a significance level of a = 0.05, what is the correct conclusion?

a. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75

b. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5

c. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5

d. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75

"Phillip鈥檚 Wish," by Suzanne Osorio

My nephew likes to play

Chasing the girls makes his day.

He asked his mother

If it is okay

To get his ear pierced.

She said, 鈥淣o way!鈥

To poke a hole through your ear,

Is not what I want for you, dear.

He argued his point quite well,

Says even my macho pal, Mel,

Has gotten this done.

It鈥檚 all just for fun.

C鈥檓on please, mom, please, what the hell.

Again Phillip complained to his mother,

Saying half his friends (including their brothers)

Are piercing their ears

And they have no fears

He wants to be like the others.

She said, 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 much less.

We must do a hypothesis test.

And if you are right,

I won鈥檛 put up a fight.

But, if not, then my case will rest.鈥

We proceeded to call fifty guys

To see whose prediction would fly.

Nineteen of the fifty

Said piercing was nifty

And earrings they鈥檇 occasionally buy.

Then there鈥檚 the other thirty-one,

Who said they鈥檇 never have this done.

So now this poem鈥檚 finished.

Will his hopes be diminished,

Or will my nephew have his fun?

When a new drug is created, the pharmaceutical company must subject it to testing before receiving the necessary permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the drug. Suppose the null hypothesis is 鈥渢he drug is unsafe.鈥 What is the Type II Error?

a. To conclude the drug is safe when in, fact, it is unsafe.

b. Not to conclude the drug is safe when, in fact, it is safe.

c. To conclude the drug is safe when, in fact, it is safe.

d. Not to conclude the drug is unsafe when, in fact, it is unsafe.
